It's final day of the TSG sneak peeks!
Today's set is a moving themed set, which we think will help to ease the pain of moving just a little!

Most people do NOT like to move, and this cute set has an image and sentiment for every occasion, whether you be the one moving, or if you are sending one to a friend or family member. With a major transition such as moving, a hand stamped greeting is JUST the thing to say goodbye, hello, or just a plain welcome to the neighborhood….and there’s a DOG!!!!

On the Move is a 6x8 set that includes a total of 22 stamps and will sell for $24.00.

Arrows have recently been popping up here and there in the paper crafting world, right? I thought an arrow would go well with moving theme, so I made an arrow shaped banner, stamped the sentiment and added some dashed line with a white gel pen. Hummmm... now I need some arrow dies!!

It's Day3 of this month's TSG Sneak peeks. The stamp set we are showing you today is Enjoy Life - By the Sea!

Last month we released the new Enjoy Life set with matching dies, and THIS month, Melyssa has created a set full of stamps to go along with the dies!! From crabs, to sand castles, oysters, and octopi, this set will help you use the Enjoy Life dies to there fullest!!

Enjoy Life-By the Sea is a 4x8 set that includes a total of 25 stamps and will sell for $18.00.

For the crab image, I used Enjoy Life set along with the new set. At first, I stamped a chevron patterned ice cream image from Enjoy Life set, then stamped a crab image from Enjoy Life - By the Sea set over the pattern. It's an easy and fun way to color the crab!;)

Before showing you today's set, Swing Big, I'd like to say a big thank you to Kim O'Connell. The original idea for this set came from her, and she gave me some great inspirations while I was designing. I'm sure that I couldn't do this set without her!

America’s favorite past time has been brought to life with Torico’s style, and cutesy whimsical characters!! For the baseball enthusiast to the mom/dad yelling in the stands, this set is PERFECT for the baseball lover in your life! Can you imagine the scrapbooking possibilities!

Swing Big is a 4x6 set that includes a total of 16 stamps and will sell for $15.00.

Welcome to Day1 of this month's TSG sneak peeks!!
Today we are showing you another Donkey set by Melyssa, which is called Donkey University!:D

Our favorite new animal at There She Goes is the Donkey, and this month Melyssa has found great new ways for us to dress up our Donkey however we see fit. With his super cute tee shirt, and several sayings, you can send Donkey to the University, or just let everyone know what a STUD he is!! We hope you love this set as much as WE do, because believe me, we are in LOVE!!

Donkey University is a 4x4 set that includes a total of 13 stamps and will sell for $10.00.

I did paper piecing for his T-shirt. The saying, "Normal is boring", was stamped with VersaMark ink and was heat embossed with white EP. To match with the saying, I colored his hair in purple and added some diamond stickles. lol!

Loooong time no see, everyone! I'm sorry that I've been a bad blogger this past a few weeks. With my kids' summer vacation, my life doesn't go in a normal pace:( But I've been working on some crafty things behind the scene;), and hopefully things will get back to 'normal' by the end of this month! (My children's schools restart in the last week of this month.)

Anyway, I have a card to share with you today!
It's a TSG Again! week over at the TSG blog, where we are featuring some older TSG stamp sets. This month's sets are...

And today, we are showing you a new card/project using one of these sets. For my card, I used Believe in You.

Please head over to the TSG blog to see what the other Trendsetters have created for today!

I'm going to visit my parents' home (where is far from here about 7 hours by train!) this weekend and I'll meet my sister and her family for the first time in about two years!!:)
I'm sure that it will be a great weekend for me, and I hope yours is wonderful too!!

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

It has been almost a week since I posted here last time. I don't want to say this, but my recent life has been so busy that my creative mojo is down...:( But last night, I managed to make a quick card using this week's sketch from Sketchbook Saturday Challenge (SSC71).

As you see, I turned the sketch upside down.:P The stamp set I used was Bugs & Hisses from TSG.
